Prairie Crocus, also called pasque flower, is one of the earliest spring wildflowers to bloom. It blooms so early that the flowers come up before the leaves do. Prairie Crocus is a perennial plant native to virtually all of the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere. It is seen in dry prairies across United States, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, and Mongolia. Its flowers come in different colors such as blue, purple, and white. From my own experience, I have seen mostly purple blooms no taller than a few inches tall. Prairie Crocus is a rare wildflower and is an indicator of a virgin prairie or high quality prairie.
